 The Blackwater Valley Countryside Partnership has developed a number of guides that provide useful information for visitors out and about in the valley.
The perfect introductory guide to the Blackwater Valley is our brand new leaflet Explore the Blackwater Valley. Colourful and practical it offers a flavour of what the Valley has to offer. Open it out and there is a large map showing the entire catchment area with details of the many wildlife sites of interest as well as the Valley’s leisure and recreational activities plus useful general information.
 If you enjoy walking and want to explore the Blackwater Valley this is the guide for you. Blackwater Valley Circular Walks contains full details of 12 circular walks in and around the Blackwater Valley. Not only will it introduce you to the many nature reserves, country parks, woodlands and meadows in the area, but it will also act as the perfect companion publication to our Blackwater Valley Path guide (see below). Beautifully produced in full colour, it has 56-pages and as well as walkers it will appeal to everyone who lives in the area.
 Our Path book is currently out of stock. We are in the process of revamping it but it will be a number of months before the new copy is available. In the meantime we are able to supply photocopies of the maps and the detailed route descriptions for £1 plus £1 p+p.
The Blackwater Valley Path guide is a full-colour, illustrated booklet giving a details of the 23-mile long distance route that follows the River Blackwater. With clear, specially drawn and easy-to-follow maps and a detailed route description, it identifies the multi-user section - suitable for cyclists, wheelchair users and pushchairs - and provides information of some of the points of general interest in the Valley. A practical guide of interest to Valley residents and visitors alike.
 The Blackwater Valley area was described in the 1930s as a dragonflies’ paradise. Since then gravel extraction has created many more lakes and ponds, making it one of the best areas in Britain to see both dragonflies and damselflies. Blackwater Valley Dragonflies features a detailed description of the 30 species that can be found on various sites within the Valley. With close-up photographs and details of where and when to find the different species, this booklet is a must for wildlife enthusiasts.
